Chuqi specializes in advanced Central air conditioning medium filtration, offering a Low resistance F6 nonwoven bag filter for energy saving. Our Nonwoven Pocket Filter is engineered for High air flow environments, supporting a rated air flow of up to 2700m³/h. This Low initial resistance design—ranging from 50Pa-65Pa—minimizes energy consumption for building managers while providing a durable secondary filtration stage for general air purification.

Q1: How does the “Washable” feature help in reducing my operational costs?
Unlike standard disposable filters, our Nonwoven Pocket Filter uses specialized new composite nonwoven fabric that can be cleaned and recycled for application. This extends the product’s lifespan and drastically lowers the frequency and cost of purchasing new replacements.
Q2: Can this filter handle high-velocity air in large commercial buildings?
Yes. It is specifically engineered to handle high air flow with a rated air flow of up to 2700m³/h. The rigid Aluminum alloy or galvanized steel frame ensures that the pockets stay secure and stable even in high-velocity AHU units.
Q3: Will using this filter improve the energy efficiency of my HVAC system?
Absolutely. The optimized pocket design and high-quality synthetic nonwoven media ensure a low initial resistance. This reduces the pressure drop across the filter, allowing your fan motors to operate with a lower load and decreasing overall energy consumption.
Q4: Is the filter frame resistant to harsh industrial environments?
Yes. We offer both Aluminum alloy and galvanized steel frames to provide maximum structural integrity. These materials are selected for their ability to withstand the mechanical impacts and conditions typical in metallurgy, oil, and chemical industry air intake systems.
Q5: How do I ensure there is no air bypass during installation?
Each filter is equipped with a high-quality EVA gasket strip. This ensures a 100% leak-proof fit when installed in your ventilation system, preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the secondary filtration stage.

In commercial and industrial HVAC engineering, selecting gas-phase air filtration media often presents a technical dilemma for procurement officers and system designers:

In modern cleanroom engineering, pharmaceutical processing, microelectronics manufacturing, and high-spec HVAC systems, High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters serve as the definitive standard

In high-tech industrial manufacturing, cleanroom environments, and specialized equipment design, air purity is non-negotiable. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and facility
